However,\u00a0Jerry Jones\u00a0doesn&#8217;t have those thoughts and is more than content with Dallas&#8217; rushing options.<\/p>\n<div class=\"aspect-video w-full\">\n<div class=\"not-prose flex aspect-video w-full items-center justify-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Jones seemed a bit surprised that fans and pundits\u00a0would question the run game.

I&#8217;m pleased with what Zeke is doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRunning back is just not on our radar as far as an area of interest,\u201d Jones concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Through the first two weeks of the season, Henry alone has run for 130 yards and a pair of touchdowns. The Cowboys as a whole have 170 yards. Week 3 will give Dallas an opportunity to prove Jerry Jones&#8217; faith correct. But another strong game on the ground should only send more questions Jones&#8217; way.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>State of Cowboys&#8217; running back room\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3041566\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3041566\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3041566\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Jerry-Jones-shoots-down-concerns-over-Dallas-running-back-depth-chart.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Jerry-Jones-shoots-down-concerns-over-Dallas-running-back-depth-chart.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Jerry-Jones-shoots-down-concerns-over-Dallas-running-back-depth-chart.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Jerry-Jones-shoots-down-concerns-over-Dallas-running-back-depth-chart.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Jerry-Jones-shoots-down-concerns-over-Dallas-running-back-depth-chart.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Jerry-Jones-shoots-down-concerns-over-Dallas-running-back-depth-chart.jpg?resize=150,84 150w\" alt=\"Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (15) celebrates his first down run against the Cleveland Browns during the fourth quarter at Huntington Bank Field. \" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><\/figure>\n<article class=\"article-body prose max-w-none pb-7 pt-5 prose-figure:max-w-full prose-ol:pl-10 prose-img:max-w-full prose-video:max-w-full md:prose-ol:pl-6 [&amp;_iframe]:m-auto [&amp;_iframe]:block [&amp;_iframe]:max-w-full\">Jones was non-committal on whether Dalvin Cook would make his Cowboys debut in Week 3. His addition will another another element in the backfield, although it&#8217;d be hard to expect his early Minnesota Vikings production. Cook would shake things up, but without him, Elliott, Rico Dowdle and Duece Vaughn would once again be asked to lead the backfield.Elliott was the runner Jones called out by name, perhaps due to their rich history. However, he has just 56 rushing yards through Week 2. The same goes for Rico Dowdle, who many expected a breakout from. They both have a touchdown run while Vaughn has gained just 15 scoreless yards.<\/p>\n<p>Coming off of their brutal loss to the New Orleans Saints, the Cowboys need a spark offensively. However, Jones doesn&#8217;t think he needs to add from outside the organization at running back. His trust will be put on the line against the Ravens.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jerry Jones doesn&#8217;t see any issues with the Cowboys&#8217; running back room.
